What To Expect
We’ll start at a bar that’s been a local favorite since the 1970s. Here you’ll try a selection of the best mussels in town with dry Basque cider. Master pouring cider from a height straight into your glass and learn all about the cultural phenomenon of “TXOTX!” This traditional stop will be your first introduction into what going out for pintxos really means in San Sebastian.
Next, you’ll dive into the fascinating world of Spain’s most famous delicacy: cured Iberian ham. We’ll introduce you to a family-run gem stocked with Basque and Spanish gourmet products. Try two of the most-renowned (and most expensive) cured hams especially chosen by our friend Sylvain. By the time we leave, you’ll have an understanding of the differences between them—and a favorite!

5.00A tour is only as good as your guide, and fortunately for us our guide was absolutely exceptional. From the start Begona was warm and approachable, and very passionate about current and historical San Sebastian. Our tour took us through the streets of San Sebastián, past places we might have bypassed if it wasn’t for her enthusiastic recommendations and fantastic local knowledge. The food we experienced in each establishment she took us too was exceptional, so fresh and exciting, with the wine pairings elevating our pleasure even further. The conversation throughout was entertaining, informative, and personal enough to make us all want to come back here just to meet Begona again. Thank you for making our night in San Sebastián so memorable
